A good hotel with excellent staff. They all worked well as a team, very professional in their attitude and helped each other out to keep things running smoothly.They were also good at noticing details , quick to respond , and.help. I have been here for some time and see the high quality service provided constantly. For example the other day the hotel was very busy with 2 separate funeral parties, in function rooms, a Christmas lunch party , and the normal usual visitors. I was able to sit and observe the efficient way that the staff worked very hard to provide a great service to all their visitors, whether a big party for dinner or a cup of coffee and a cake.

This is an old listed building, so unfortunately there was no lift. I needed to stay in the vicinity to be able to be available for workmen at my home . I have problems with my back and mobility issues so found the stairs a little difficult, but again the staff were quick to help. The ground floor would be ok for wheelchair users if they wanted a meal or to go in the lounge or bar

The ground floor room was very nice, a good size with a great bathroom with a large shower. Breakfast was good with table service for all courses. We happened to mention it was our 46 th wedding anniversary and the staff really went the whole hog and made us feel very welcome with a free bottle of Prosecco, decorated table and a card. The meal was very nice too, lovely Monkfish risotto and a pork tomahawk chop with salad and chips, yummy. Managed to get free parking out the front but there is parking around the back for a small fee. The hotel is in a super location with panoramic sea views. The hotel is recently refurbished to a very high standard including many of the rooms with a upmarket lounge and bar areas, dogs also are welcome for a small fee.

Breakfast cereal choices was limited.

Sadly we were unable to eat at the restaurant as they did not open on the night of our stay. The breakfast was pretty good and up to the general standards of The full English or part thereof. The serving staff were extremely helpful and caring for customers with excellent examples of Northern friendlinessMy wife and I would certainly recommend The Golden Lion to visitors to the area. We had only one slight disappointment that being no heating in the bathroom in Room 1, not a problem for our family in room 2 though.

Lack of heat in bathroom of Room 1

The staff were very helpful and friendly. Building was interesting, well placed in the town and had a lot of facilities.

Breakfast wasn't great, I had a full breakfast, just wasn't as hoped. I actually paid less and had a better cooked breakfast the day before at the hospital canteen up the road. Evening food starter was very tasty, but the waitress who started my service, then disappeared and I had to flag down a passing member of staff if required. Also on leaving the staff member on the till when asking for my bill, got my meal wrong, then got my drinks wrong by saying 2.5 pints of coke as opposed to 2 3/4pt glasses.

The room was quiet and comfortable. I had dinner in the bar - the menu was varied and included vegetarian options. The nut roast with apricot and goat's cheese and perfectly cooked seasonal vegetables was delicious. The location of the hotel is great - I was in town to do research at the county record office and it was very conveniently placed for that. Great to find the Everyman cinema a few minutes walk away - a modern building in the street behind the hotel so not impinging on the traditional feel of the main street.

Unfortunately I didn't have success linking to the hotel wifi - I suspect my room may have been too far from the router. I managed to link to a personal hotspot so wasn't too much of a problem on a short visit.

Breakfast was cooked to order, meeting exact customer requirements. Lunch and dinner were very good value, and plentiful. The team was well resourced both at reception, even late at night, and especially in the restaurant and lounges. Every member of staff was extremely welcoming, professional and had enthusiasm for their work - quite an exceptional thing in today's modern world.

The price of the room was a little on the high side at £90 room only. The net curtains were torn in places which created a poor impression on arrival. The lounge was pretty chilly throughout the day, with only one gas fire on low.

Staff were all very friendly, check-in easy. Rooms spacious clean and comfortable and had everything we needed. Hotel a lot bigger than expected and was beautifully decorated for Xmas, the kids loved it! We were a group of 10 including 4 children as we were going to the Polar Express and they were very accommodating for us all we felt very welcome at this hotel. Ten mins walk to Northallerton Train Station and about 15mins taxi ride to the Polar Express. Cannot comment on breakfast as we didn't eat there, but have heard the food there is brill. Would definitely recommend.

Nothing, our experience was all good.

My friend and I have stayed several times before and always found the hotel to be welcoming and the staff remembered us. We usually have drinks in the comfortable bar and a meal in the restaurant (though that's not possible on a Sunday as we discovered last year!). Our twin room was nice and bathroom very clean.

We had not realised that on this particular weekend every year there is a massive funfair the whole length of the High Street. Not the hotel's fault of course but it did impact on our 'quiet' 2-day break!

Bedrooms were clean and had all the basics. The beds were comfortable and the location of the hotel is very convenient for restaurants and shops. I was very pleased that Yorkshire tea bags were available in the room and at breakfast. The staff were friendly and helpful

I paid to stay in the car park but didn't get a refund from the hotel. It wasn't offered but I think the notice in the car park says you can be refunded if you are staying in the hotel

Fantastic location, with car park. Lovely, polite, friendly staff. Pleasant plentiful breakfast. Evening meals very nice too. Great Sunday evening entertainment. We have stayed here before and would again in the future. Great area with nice bars and restaurants, local people very friendly.

The hotel is clean and suited our needs. In time, the rooms will need updating, it's a shame it's only ranked a two star, that could be off putting to some, but we really don't have complaints at all.
